(Fourth) Book of Nephi Chapter One. Book of Mormon 1830 First Edition

Mormon shares the fate of the people after Jesus had ascended to Heaven.. they were one people of righteousness for more than 200 years but before 300 years were up, they were as wicked as they ever were, both the Nephites and the Lamanites. Nephi son of Nephi kept the records, when he died his son Amos kept them and his son Amos, then the brother of Amos kept the plates whose name was Ammoron and when 324 years had passed away since the coming of Christ, Ammaron hid up the plates.
